As part of a hydro project, Express Global Logistics (EXG) has completed the multimodal transportation of four lots of shipments from India to Brazil.
This journey covered a total distance of 500km by road and several days of voyage by sea before arriving at the final destination.
The cargo was divided into four lots, including general cargo, over-dimensional cargo, and 8 breakbulk pieces.
The containers were transported using high-bed trailers, while the breakbulk pieces – measuring 6.0 x 6.0 x 1.5m and weighing 32mt each – were transported on SLBT trailers.
The road transportation of 500 km from the pick-up point to Nhava Sheva Port presented several challenges. The occasion of a national festival, which could have significantly delayed their schedule, was deftly managed by coordinating with local authorities and rescheduling movements to avoid peak times.
In accordance with Brazilian government regulations, mandating the fumigation of cargo secured within wooden boxes or pallets, EXG effectively conducted the necessary fumigation ahead of schedule, ensuring completion before the cargo reached the terminal.
